After forcing the FI to look at color themes last night he was not too thrilled with what I had chosen thus far, he felt it was too dark. In particular he didn't like the burgundy/chocolate brown combo. He wanted more of a "pop" and he liked the idea of bright red. I tried to tell him that there will be red, in the apple centerpieces, but his nose remained crinkled while he looked at my carefully chosen color combo. Sigh.
I don't know how bright red will go with the BM dresses especially if they are solid chocolate brown. So I thought well maybe if I just take out the burgundy and lighten up the dresses it will "pop" without a third color.
I found these gorgeous dresses today and I think that maybe a chocolate brown/ivory combo dress would look cute.
This dress is currently on sale at Macy's for $40!
This one is on sale at Dillard's for $48
and this one is from edressme and is $92
If each bridesmaid wore a different dress it would definitely look pretty, and be lighter than all brown. Plus it would add to the casual vibe and there may not even be a need to add another color into the bridesmaid's attire, simple ivory bouquets and brown jewelery or pearls would be all that is needed.
What do you ladies think?

Cute, I like the patterns. The middle one is my favorite! Where is the bright red coming in, pashminas?
ReplyDeleteNo I would just drop the red in the attire maybe just a little red in the flowers or something. I would just keep the dresses to ivory and brown.
ReplyDeleteThe brown/ivory is pretty and defintely lightens things up. I like the last one! Its cool that Gavin has opinions on this stuff :)
